WHAT DOES EXTERMINATION CAMP MEAN IN ENGLISH?

extermination camp

Extermination camp

Extermination camps were camps during World War II built primarily, but not exclusively, by Nazi Germany to systematically kill millions of people by execution and extreme work under starvation conditions. Initiated with the Action T4 programme, it was adapted, expanded and applied to victims from many groups; however, Jews became the main Nazi targets. This genocide of the Jewish people was the Third Reich's "Final Solution to the Jewish question". The Nazi attempts at Jewish genocide are now collectively known as the Holocaust. While not on the same scale as that perpertrated by the Nazis, the fascist Ustaše forces of the Independent State of Croatia also operated extermination camps.
